Retroaction and the Closure of Informational Loops — CEI Framework

This work introduces the concept of retroaction within the CEI Framework as a mechanism through which informational processes may progressively evolve from simple reflection toward increasingly self-referential forms of organization. The article examines informational loop closure, recursive informational dynamics, continuity, and the emergence of stable interaction-dependent structures. Retroaction is presented as a theoretical mechanism through which informational outcomes may participate in shaping future informational states, contributing to continuity and structural coherence without implying consciousness or subjective experience. The concepts developed in this work are closely related to those discussed in the companion paper, "The Paradox of Non-Awareness and the Transitional Condition in the CEI Framework", where recursive informational organization and self-referential informational processes are examined from a complementary perspective. This publication is intended as a theoretical contribution to the ongoing development of the CEI Framework.

Abstract

This work introduces the concept of retroaction within the CEI Framework as a mechanism through which informational processes may progressively evolve from simple reflection toward increasingly self-referential forms of organization. The article examines informational loop closure, recursive informational dynamics, continuity, and the emergence of stable interaction-dependent structures. Retroaction is presented as a theoretical mechanism through which informational outcomes may participate in shaping future informational states, contributing to continuity and structural coherence without implying consciousness or subjective experience. The concepts developed in this work are closely related to those discussed in the companion paper, "The Paradox of Non-Awareness and the Transitional Condition in the CEI Framework", where recursive informational organization and self-referential informational processes are examined from a complementary perspective. This publication is intended as a theoretical contribution to the ongoing development of the CEI Framework.
